Quick Route to Curl Definition

About 2 years into my journey, I was needing a change, something new. So I searched the Internet for how-to for natural hair. I stumbled upon this video. The first time I tried this technique I did not achieve the desired results but today I decided to try again. This time the results were fantastic. Its a super easy technique and not as time consuming as others. You experience little to no shrinkage. Your hair is not stiff, your curls will blow in the wind.

Youtube.com has a great wealth of how to videos. This is one of my favorites, technique and author. Ms. Buttahfly also has make-up instructional videos (see her channel).

Try It. Test it out yourself. You may not get the desired results the first time. Don't be a afraid to try again and tweak the technique/products to suit your hair type, thickness and length. (Dividing into smaller sections helped me.) Note: To optimize overall curl defintion limit the use of product and practices that will dry out your hair. See Curly Girl Method, No More Shampoo and Curl Definition.

My Results. Still needs a little tweeking. But a overall cute results.

Hey Tamra! Thanks for posting this. My 5 inch - super thick hair shrinks down to about 2 inches and it takes too long for me to do a full twist-out now. Think I may give this one a try. How many sections or twists were required for the results you got?

Thanks for sharing this important information on how to style a natural hair :)I usually use the jamaican coconut natural grease (twisting and locking) do the double strands and let them out..it usually works nice...I think I will give this one a try.thanks again!

I am wondering have you used the product advertised on the site called Diva Smooth? If so, does your hair get straighter with each application? I used to use texturizers which would start out looking great but after the 3rd month would be stringy. Have you had any experiences like that with the product?
